These brought to my attention this evening by jensen
2nd October 2005
One of these actually sold to someone here, a member of this website, a few weeks ago. Or rather, he became a member after he bought this!
He sent it back and got his money refunded.
These seller's are making a mockery of eBay!
And of you and me.
Many of us keep telling eBay...but they take not a blind bit of notice.

Both of course are terrible fakes!!
These marks are not hieroglyphs.....they are just odd shapes and squiggles!
Below is the real Sennefer and Senay.
In the Egyptian museum in Cairo.

I think that you will see right away what aesthetic mastery the Egyptians achieved!
They simply did not produce ugly things.
This is one of the very few Egyptian works of art ever to be signed by its artists, Amenmes and Djed-Khonsu, whose names can be read in the vertical inscription on the left hand side of the seat.
The last image below is of bookends which can be purchased for about $35 http://kingsroyalimports.safeshopper.com/26/233.htm?966
They are about the same size as these things
It has been illegal since 1983 (and a serious offence indeed!) to export any antiquities from Egypt .
You can try to report this to eBay but you will find the response disappointing.

I and a lot of other collectors have been trying try to get these many sellers of forgeries thrown off eBay.
eBay takes no notice at all!

And then the same piece again a few months later.
From the same mould.
This time the seller makes the pics slightly green.

Note that everything here with this seller is fake.
He has sold these before , using a different ID, before he was thrown off eBay.
